The chief executive of a controversial surveillance-camera company has drawn his wife into an escalating privacy controversy after leaked audio revealed him saying she had advised him to “never apologize.”

Garrett Langley, CEO of Flock Safety, made the comments at a private meeting of police chiefs in Orlando, Florida, on Sunday, according to audio obtained by 404 Media.

Flock has faced mounting criticism over its nationwide network of license plate-reading cameras. During the gathering, Langley dismissed much of the opposition, claiming protests against the company were not authentic and suggesting Russian bots were responsible for a significant share of the online backlash.

“I give my wife a lot of credit. She was, like, you should never apologize,” Langley said, according to the outlet.

“Sure, people make mistakes. I’ve made a lot of mistakes in the last nine years. I made a lot of mistakes this summer. But we do good work.”

Langley apologized in July to activists who had protested Flock after he previously described their group as a “terroristic organization,” Forbes reported.

He also said his wife had supported his theory that Russian bots were fueling the online criticism directed at Flock.

“It went down 50 percent last week when Ukraine bombed a Russian data center with a drone. Literally 50 percent overnight,” Langley said.

“And so look, I’m the last person, my wife as well, she’s like ‘This is crazy, these people are getting paid to say these things.’”

Langley offered no evidence for the claims about alleged Russian bot activity.

The CEO acknowledged that what he described as inauthentic online activity had contributed to genuine protests from activists.

“Inorganic activity has led to organic activity, but when I look at protests across the country, it is the same people with the same signs and the same message,” Langley said.

“That’s not normal. That’s not organic at all.”

Langley also told attendees that he would prefer to avoid speaking with the media altogether.

“I’d like to never do media again if that’s possible,” he said.

“The media gets to say whatever they want to say about you,” Langley added at another point.

The comments come as privacy advocates warn that Flock’s surveillance network could create a searchable record of people’s day-to-day driving patterns and movements.

Flock has acknowledged that it has deployed around 100,000 cameras across America, according to the BBC. 

The roadside devices photograph passing vehicles and record their license plates, locations and precise time of travel, allowing separate sightings to be pieced together into a detailed journey.

While police say the technology helps locate stolen vehicles and criminal suspects, civil liberties groups argue that innocent motorists can also be swept into the system and their movements searched without officers first obtaining a warrant.

Concerns have intensified amid allegations that officers used the system to monitor former partners and cases in which incorrect alerts allegedly led to innocent motorists being detained.

The company says information is deleted after 30 days by default, although retention periods can vary under local contracts and state laws. Flock also maintains that its customers control access to their information and that searches are logged and can be audited.

However, a growing number of American communities are imposing restrictions on the technology or abandoning the company altogether.

The American Civil Liberties Union said in June that more than 55 communities had ended Flock contracts during the previous year, citing fears that the technology could enable warrantless surveillance, federal access to locally collected records and searches without sufficient municipal oversight.

The Daily Mail has reached out to Flock Safety for comment.

Police have identified one of three suspects wanted over a “terrifying” home invasion at the residence of a Canadian CEO, saying the man was accidentally shot by one of his accomplices.

Daijohn Richards, 23, of Toronto, is wanted in connection with Thursday’s violent break-in at the $2.1 million home of David Morton in the affluent Bridle Path neighborhood, police said.

Morton, the CEO of MAC Group, was at home with his wife and their two daughters when three masked men reportedly forced their way inside shortly after 3.30am. The suspects were armed with handguns and a hammer.

Morton and his two daughters were shot during the ordeal, while his wife, Doriana Zohil-Morton, was “smashed in the head” with the hammer, according to the Toronto Sun.

All four family members survived, although two suffered what were described as “life-altering injuries.”

On Saturday, the Toronto Police Service identified Richards as one of the three suspects sought in the attack. All three remain at large.

“We know who you are, and we’re actively looking for you. Your world just got smaller,” Inspector Kristy Smith said at a press conference.

Investigators believe Richards was shot in the right shoulder by one of the other suspects as the group terrorized the family and demanded valuables, Smith said.

Richards reportedly went to St Joseph’s Health Centre for treatment soon afterward. Hospital staff notified police in accordance with Ontario’s mandatory reporting rules for gunshot wounds.

He was discharged “late Thursday morning,” before police recognized his possible connection to the home invasion later that evening, authorities told CP24 News.

“We conducted a number of interactions with this male prior to him being released from the hospital,” Smith said.

Asked why officers had not arrested Richards while he was receiving treatment, Smith said police had not yet established sufficient grounds connecting him to the crime.

“We don’t just go off of suspicion,” Smith said. She explained that investigators later established the link through forensic work with the Centre for Forensic Science and door-to-door inquiries in the neighborhood.

Addressing Richards directly, she said: “I strongly urge you to get a lawyer, contact a lawyer, and turn yourself in.”

Police confirmed that a Canada-wide warrant had been issued for Richards and urged anyone who knows where he is to contact investigators immediately.

“Investigators believe Daijohn Richards was accidentally shot by one of the other suspects during the struggle inside the victims’ home,” authorities said. “He may show apparent signs of a shoulder injury.”

Police also released a photo of Richards, who is wanted on a slew of charges, including four counts of discharging a firearm with intent to wound, four counts of robbery with a firearm and three counts of aggravated assault.

He is also charged with break and enter into a dwelling-house, possessing a prohibited device and disguise with intent.

The manhunt also continues for the two remaining unidentified suspects, with Smith warning the public not to approach them if they are spotted.

The latest developments come just two days after three suspects stormed a multimillion-dollar home on Hyde Park Circle, near Bayview and Lawrence Avenues, at around 3.45am.

They forced their way inside through a rear door, with two carrying guns and the third armed with a hammer, before confronting Morton, 75, his 64-year-old wife and their two adult daughters, Maggie and Cristina Zohil-Morton, both in their 20s.

‘There was a violent interaction. There was a demand made for valuables from within the home – whether or not they escaped with anything is uncertain,’ Smith said, according to The Toronto Sun. 

‘An affluent area where people would have things that are sought after would be the motivation for this,’ she added.

Sources told CP24 that the masked intruders made their way to the second floor and entered the victims’ bedrooms, where they fired multiple shots and attacked the 64-year-old woman with a hammer. 

Morton and one of his daughters were shot in the leg, while his other daughter was struck by a bullet beneath the arm, The Toronto Sun reported. The suspects then fled the scene in a dark-colored SUV. 

Smith also revealed Saturday that, ‘through the grace of God,’ some of the victims had since been released from hospital, although it remains unclear which family members have been discharged.

She described the attack as involving ‘an appalling level of violence, all for the purpose of acquiring property,’ adding: ‘This was a family asleep in their own home,’ CP24 reported. 

Morton told the Daily Mail in an emailed statement Friday afternoon that his family went through a ‘terrifying and life-threatening experience’ while they should have been in the ‘safety and security of [their] own home.’ 

‘It is difficult to put into words the trauma of experiencing something so horrific in the one place where everyone should feel safest: their own home,’ he added.  

‘No family should ever have to experience this. People should be able to sleep peacefully in their homes without fear of armed individuals breaking in and threatening their lives.’ 

The CEO of the Toronto-based real estate services company said his family was ‘deeply concerned about the increasing violence associated with home invasions’ and the safety of families across the city. 

Thursday’s attack marked the 119th home invasion reported to Toronto police so far this year, a 32.2 per cent increase over the same period in 2025. 

Detectives have yet to establish whether the family was specifically targeted or what motivated the suspects, according to the National Post. Security camera footage from inside the home has since been handed over to police. 

Smith said residents should expect to see an increased police presence in the area as the investigation continues. 

‘This is a very active and ongoing investigation,’ said Smith, adding: ‘I can assure you that we are doing our best to provide information on the three suspects.’

Police are appealing for anyone with information to contact the Hold Up Squad on 416-808-7350 or 33 Division on 416-808-3300. 

The MAC Group describes itself as a family-owned business operating across real estate, executive corporate housing, global mobility and the luxury villa market in the Caribbean.

Morton heads the company as CEO, with his wife serving as president and daughter Maggie also working there. Their other daughter, Cristina, is the founder of immigration law firm Zohil-Morton Law.

Choosing the perfect holiday accommodation is no easy task, particularly when you want a stay with a distinctly royal feel.

Fortunately, the properties featured below are fit for a king. Some are owned by King Charles himself, while others have welcomed Prince William and his family during their holidays.

Forget a standard Travelodge or Premier Inn: these remarkable heritage homes offer a glimpse into a bygone era, along with uninterrupted views and beautifully characterful interiors.

There are intimate retreats designed for couples, as well as spacious properties capable of sleeping up to ten guests.

From a restored water tower in Norfolk to a cottage on the Isle of Wight, there are more ways than ever to experience life like a monarch — even if only for a week or two.

The Water Tower, Sandringham Estate, Norfolk

Overlooking the Norfolk countryside, this extraordinary Victorian landmark gives couples the chance to enjoy one of the UK’s most unusual stays — and it has only recently opened to the public.

The neo-Byzantine tower was built in 1877 to supply fresh water to the Royal residence, making it one of the most distinctive structures on the estate.

It has since been carefully restored, with elegant furnishings chosen to complement its decorative brickwork. Historic images and photographs of the Royal Family add to the sense of heritage.

“Its striking circular form, decorative brickwork and elevated position have made it a recognisable feature of the Norfolk landscape for almost 150 years,” explains the Sandringham Estate website.

“Originally crowned by a vast 32,000-gallon cast-iron tank supplying water to Sandringham House and the surrounding Estate, the Tower now offers guests the rare opportunity to stay within a genuine piece of Royal history.”

Gardens House, Sandringham Estate, Norfolk

This appealing house was once the home of the estate’s head gardener and is the closest estate property to Sandringham House.

Every room has been thoughtfully furnished with pieces from the Royal Collection, meaning the furniture and artwork were previously housed in a royal residence.

The house sleeps eight guests, and dogs are welcome too. Four-legged visitors can explore the expansive garden before wandering into the Royal Parkland.

The minimum booking is three nights, costing £2,800.

The official Sandringham website also describes Gardens House as being ‘perfect for a family holiday’ in a property with ‘elegant heritage’ set ‘in the peaceful stillness of the estate woodland’ with dogs ‘warmly welcomed’.

It adds: ‘This light and airy red brick Edwardian property accommodates up to eight guests, with each room thoughtfully furnished with a blend of rustic pieces, modern comforts, and botanical prints.

‘Canine companions are warmly welcomed, and the house features an expansive rear garden for dogs to roam. From the front doorstep, winding paths stretch into the Royal Parkland, offering numerous spots for the perfect picnic or a moment of quiet contemplation.

‘Whether for a family gathering or a peaceful rural escape, a stay at Gardens House offers guests a rare glimpse into the wider estate, as well as a sense of its living history.’

The description says the property includes ‘everything you need for a comfortable, independent break’, including WiFi, private gated parking, and ‘a fully equipped kitchen featuring a dishwasher, microwave, and coffee machine, laundry facilities, and a hairdryer’.

Guests are offered a service where provisions can be booked to be at the house before arrival, with breakfast delivered each morning, or with all meals provided by the estate’s ‘private catering service’.

The Folly, Sandringham Estate 

Holidaymakers can stay in the heart of King Charles’ Sandringham estate after a three-bedroom Victorian house was transformed into a retreat.

The Folly, nestled in the sprawling Norfolk estate, was once used by King Edward VII – ‘Bertie’ – to entertain his mistress, the British actress and socialite Lillie Langtry.

He visited the lavish, turreted house regularly between 1877 and 1880, after he was given Sandringham as a country home for him and his wife Princess Alexandra of Denmark.

Tourists ready to splash the cash can now follow in the footsteps of royalty and stay at the renovated 18th century retreat.

The Folly boasts gorgeous original features and ‘royal artefacts’ in a number of rooms, allowing guests to immerse themselves in the royal history of the estate.      

Oliver’s Travels, which is marketing the house, said the grounds have been ‘sensitively refurbished to the highest standard, blending timeless heritage with refined contemporary comfort’.

‘This is a rare opportunity to enjoy a private escape on regal grounds.’

The house, which is in private woodland on the Sandringham estate, sleeps up to six guests in three bedrooms which are arranged across two upstairs wings and a turret. 

The turret is accessed by an external stone staircase, which offers magnificent views across the estate and glimpses of the sea.

The downstairs of the property is equally as lavish, with a drawing room opening directly onto a well maintained lawn. The Folly also features a large dining room and a kitchen with a butler sink.

Oliver’s Travels says: ‘Originally built as a place where ladies retired for tea, this turreted gem with wrap-around balcony has been transformed into a luxurious retreat, inviting guests to experience life at the heart of one of Britain’s most iconic royal residences.

‘With input from the Sandringham team, The Folly honours its romantic past while embracing modern comfort.

‘Period features – stone hearths, arched entryways, hand-finished floors – have been lovingly preserved. 

‘Throughout the house, royal artefacts from the private collection add depth and authenticity.’

The Osborne Estate, Isle of Wight

The Osborne Estate on the Isle of Wight was Queen Victoria and Prince Albert’s family home, where the Queen chose to raise her nine children. 

They stayed at Osborne for lengthy periods each year, including in the May, July and August for their birthdays.

It was Queen Victoria’s favourite royal palace, where she had commissioned an extensive redesign of the estate, which was carried out by leading architect Thomas Cubitt with help from her husband, Prince Albert. 

It was at Osborne, now fashioned into an Italianate Palazzo, that she chose to live whenever possible, bringing up her large family there. 

The sprawling grounds included a private beach, gardens and a full-sized Alpine playhouse for the nine children called Swiss Cottage. Today Osborne features holiday lets, including No 1 Sovereign’s Gate and No 2 Sovereign Gate.

Sovereign’s Gate was commissioned by Queen Victoria and Prince Albert as the formal entrance to Osborne. Today, it is two holiday cottages with private gardens, each sleeping up to four guests.

Residents at Sovereign’s Gate have access to the beach at all times, even when it is closed to the general public.

Meanwhile, built in the early 1900s for sporty cadets at the Royal Naval College, the Pavilion Cottage on the Osborne Estate overlooks College Field, which used to be the cricket pitch.

Fit with a veranda with outdoor seating, the two-bedroom cottage is off the beaten track to avoid tourists, but a close enough walk to the gardens, statues and Andromeda fountain of Osborne.

Queen Victoria once remarked: ‘It is impossible to imagine a prettier spot.’

Her late Majesty’s son Edward VII had her private rooms sealed off when she died in 1901.

But in 1954, Victoria’s great great granddaughter Queen Elizabeth II opened them to the public, later handing over management of the estate to English Heritage.

Connachat Cottage, Balmoral Estate

The Balmoral Estate is said to have been the late Queen Elizabeth II’s favourite residence, and it is not hard to see why.

Hidden away in the Cairngorms National Park in Crathie, Aberdeenshire, the 50,000-acre estate was bought by Prince Albert in 1852.

 Guests can enjoy the same Highland wilderness, walking trails, and grounds enjoyed by generations of British royals.

Traditional stone-built Connachat Cottage, one of the original buildings of the estate, is the perfect escape for families and friends. Close to walking trails and outdoor activities, guests can immerse themselves in the natural beauty of Scotland.

Also on the Balmoral estate is Karim Cottage, which was built to house Abdul Karim, Queen Victoria’s secretary and close friend during the last 14 years of her reign.

The cottage has an interesting history: Queen Victoria and Karim’s intimate relationship stoked jealousy and friction amongst royal courtiers whose families had served the monarchy for generations. When she died in 1901, he was dismissed from Court and sent back to India.

The cottage itself is a renovated bungalow for six people including a lounge with log burner, and an enclosed private garden.

The Captain’s House, Castle of Mey, Caithness

The Castle of Mey is the most northerly-inhabited castle on the British mainland, with panoramic views looking north across the Pentland Firth, and visitors can enjoy spectacular sunsets and sometimes glimpse the Northern Lights.

In 1952, the Queen Mother, King Charles III’s grandmother, bought what was then Barrogill Castle on the Caithness coast, restoring the 16th-century fortress and renaming it the Castle of Mey.

The late Queen Mother fell for its remote and windswept charm after hearing it was abandoned. 

It became her summer and autumn retreat and a regular stop on Charles’s Scottish holidays. The King inherited his grandmother’s love for the castle and makes his own autumn visits. 

The estate has two properties available to the public: The Captain’s House and the luxurious Granary Lodge.

The Captain’s House is a detached holiday cottage that offers self-catering accommodation.

Previously known as Seaview House, it sleeps six people in two double rooms and one twin. Just a couple of minutes’ walk away in the castle grounds is the ten-room Granary Lodge, which opened as a B&B in 2019. 

Today, you can catch glimpses of the Queen Mother’s personality on a tour of the castle, from her powder-blue raincoat hanging in the hallway to her cocktail cabinet.

Charles’s farmhouse, Carmarthenshire

King Charles and Queen Camilla used to spend a couple of weeks a year at their secluded three-bedroom farmhouse on the Llwynywermod estate in Carmarthenshire.

As Prince of Wales, Charles said it was important to have a home there and spent 40 years finding the right one.

He bought the £1.2 million estate in 2007 with Camilla, now Queen, which included two cottages available to rent.

North Range and West Range, cost between £1,400 to £2,400 a week depending on the time of year.

‘Sitting within a courtyard range adjoining the Welsh royal residence of Llwynywermod, North Range is a charming barn conversion available for occasional holiday lets,’ explained the Llwynywermod website.

‘North Range forms part of a courtyard attached to Llwynywermod Farmhouse and is beautifully furnished to suit the style of the property, with a mixture of period and contemporary furniture including many Welsh pieces and local fabrics.’

Ideal for walkers, the cottages are surrounded by 90-acres of land and a short distance from the Breacon Beacons National Park.

The King gave up the property in 2023, unable to visit as frequently. 

Casa Printului de Wales in Viscri, Transylvania

You don’t have to stay within the UK to rent a royal home, either. King Charles also owns property in Transylvania, Romania.

His Majesty bought the estate in the 1990s, and the 400-year-old Casa Printului de Wales cottage has been decorated with traditional antique Transylvanian furniture, and textiles.

This secluded property, close to the Transylvanian village of Viscri, is a nature retreat for those wanting to explore the Zalán Valley and the surrounding mountains. 

There is royal heritage in the region, as King Charles’ maternal great-great-great grandmother Klaudia Rhedey was born and brought up in the region.

Hungarian-speaking Klaudia married into German royalty and was styled the Princess of Teck. Queen Mary of Teck, her granddaughter, was wife to George V and Charles’s great grandmother. 

The King has visited on numerous occasions, setting up the Prince of Wales Foundation in Romania to support the development of farming, traditional skills and the preservation of historic buildings through training. 

In Casa Printului de Wales in Viscri, there are no televisions or radios in any of the rooms, just books. 

Guests are expected to dine together, and there are outdoor activities including horse riding, walks through a wildflower meadow named after Prince George and trips to the nearby mineral pools.

Dolphin House, Tresco Island, Isles of Scilly

In 2020, amid the Covid-19 pandemic, Prince William took his family to the island of Tresco for a summer break, where they stayed at his father’s home of Dolphin House.

William and Kate were spotted ‘enjoying the weather’ and stopping to greet their fellow holidaymakers as they cycled across Tresco, Isles of Scilly.

The royals decided to venture to the island near the coast of Cornwall for a ‘quick getaway’ before their children returned to school, an insider said at the time.

Dolphin House is just yards away from the sea, allowing Kate and William to take their buckets and spades to the beach with George, Charlotte and Louis.

The family went for a bike ride around the car-free island and were seen smiling and chatting to residents.

Back at Dolphin House, they would have been able to enjoy complete privacy behind the former rectory’s 10ft-thick granite walls, and perhaps a barbecue in the large garden. 

There’s an air of quiet luxury about the house, with its trim hedges and pristine sub-tropical flower borders.

The six bedroom property is located on the Isles of Scilly and sleeps up to ten guests. Its four bathrooms make it ideal for larger parties.

The property has a large walled garden with lawns and terraces, giving guests space to lunch and children to play.  Its beautifully decorated kitchen offers views of the sea and other of Scilly’s islands. 

After the Royals departed from Tresco’s heliport, a local onlooker said: ‘William and Kate were both smiling widely and looked really happy and relaxed. Their bodyguards had big smiles too – it was clear to see that it had been a really good holiday.’

An Isles of Scilly resident told The Mail on Sunday: ‘Dolphin House really is an idyllic and modest holiday home for families.

‘Kate, William and the children certainly will have made the most of how peaceful it is there, and the island’s residents made sure to leave them alone and not disturb their trip.’

A royal source said: ‘They decided on a quick getaway before the children return to school. They were keen to support our travel industry.’ 

For three years, Vicki Maylan received treatment for bladder problems that were not actually the cause of her symptoms.

The former NHS worker, then 66, noticed something unusual shortly after the menopause. Once a sound sleeper, she began waking repeatedly during the night to use the toilet—sometimes as many as seven times.

‘It was incredibly disruptive,’ says Vicki, who lives in Devon. ‘I woke every morning feeling exhausted and with a headache. My GP diagnosed nocturia—the need to urinate frequently at night—but couldn’t explain what had triggered it.’

The medication prescribed to control the problem made no difference. Instead, it left her dealing with severe daytime side-effects, including nausea and splitting headaches.

After three years, Vicki was referred to a urologist, who carried out a battery of tests. The results were normal. Then, while her case was being reviewed by a multidisciplinary team, one doctor suggested that the nightly toilet trips might be linked to her sleep rather than her bladder.

The doctor explained that nocturia can be a symptom of obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA). The condition develops when the muscles in the throat relax excessively during sleep, repeatedly blocking the airway and depriving the brain of oxygen for short periods.

Many people do not realise these interruptions are happening. Each pause in breathing can jolt the body into a more alert state, severely fragmenting sleep. OSA can also affect the kidneys, which normally reduce urine production overnight but may continue working when breathing is repeatedly disrupted.

Doctors monitored Vicki’s breathing and blood oxygen levels overnight. The findings were striking: she was experiencing almost 70 episodes of apnoea every hour.

A respiratory consultant confirmed the diagnosis and prescribed continuous positive airway pressure, or CPAP, therapy. The device uses a mask over the nose and mouth to deliver a steady flow of air, keeping the airway open while the patient sleeps.

Within just a week, Vicki’s nighttime bathroom visits had fallen to one. She now regularly sleeps through the night without needing to get up.

‘The machine has been amazing,’ she says. ‘I finally wake up feeling refreshed, while the headaches and fatigue have improved considerably. I had also been struggling with high blood pressure, and that has fallen significantly. I only wish I had been diagnosed earlier.’

Experts believe tens of thousands of women could be living with undiagnosed OSA. Without treatment, the condition may contribute to long-term health problems, including weight gain, high blood pressure and a higher risk of heart disease and stroke.

Women are often less likely to have OSA recognised because of the lingering belief that it mainly affects men. Symptoms such as tiredness, poor-quality sleep and mood changes can also be attributed to the menopause, making the underlying sleep disorder easier to miss.

Dr Zoe Schaedel, a Brighton-based GP specialising in sleep and menopause, said: ‘Research shows that women’s symptoms are less likely to be identified through the routine assessments GPs use when deciding whether to refer patients for further testing.

‘Women can have symptoms that differ from men’s and are less easily recognised, meaning they may not fit the standard criteria. Some recent studies suggest that up to 85 per cent of women with sleep apnoea remain undiagnosed. It is a major problem.’

An estimated eight million people in Britain have OSA, with the number thought to have increased almost sixfold since 2000.

Research indicates that a woman’s risk of developing OSA roughly doubles after menopause. The sharp decline in oestrogen and progesterone—hormones that help support the upper airway and maintain muscle tone—is believed to play a key role.

Yet because women can present with different symptoms than men, many cases are still missed, says Dr Christopher Turnbull, respiratory consultant and medical adviser for the Sleep Apnoea Trust Association. 

‘The typical symptoms of OSA are loud snoring, that can be heard through a closed door, disturbed sleep and excessive sleepiness in the day – falling asleep accidentally despite getting a good amount of hours in bed,’ he adds.

‘Yet these are more likely to be reported by men than women. Women, meanwhile, are more likely to have general tiredness or fatigue in the day without the overwhelming need to sleep, as well as to experience headaches and mood changes.’

Dr Schaedel says: ‘The fact that women refer to tiredness, but don’t necessarily report falling asleep in the day, is enough to make them less likely to be referred by GPs.’

Dr Turnbull adds: ‘Many of the commonest symptoms of OSA, such as sleepiness, disrupted sleep and waking up in the night have overlap with menopause symptoms.’

Luckily, there are some signs of OSA that should be brought up with one’s GP.

‘Morning headaches are always worth investigating – and are much more common in women,’ says Dr Schaedel.

‘New nightmares when you haven’t them in ages and fragmented sleep more generally are also concerning.’
